An app is a much bigger commitment than a website, and most of them fail for the same reason: too much built before anyone checked whether people wanted it. We scope the smallest version that proves the idea, ship that, and grow it from what real usage tells you.
The smallest thing that can prove the idea is worth funding.
Somewhere for your clients to log in and see their own information without emailing you for it.
Multi-tenant products with billing, built to survive their own growth.
Making the systems you already pay for talk to each other.
If one of these sounds like your situation, this is the right page. If none of them do, say so on the call and we will point you at what you actually need — including at nobody, if that is the honest answer.
The reason app projects go wrong is rarely the code — it is the six weeks where nobody outside the team can see progress. This is how we avoid that.
What the app must do, for whom, and what success looks like as a number. We push back on features that do not serve that — that is the job.
Screen flows first, visuals second. Cheaper to fix a wrong flow in a diagram than in a shipped build.
Weekly installable builds. Phase by phase, in the order that gets you to something testable soonest.
Store submission, analytics, crash reporting. Then decisions about version two come from what users did, not what we guessed.
Genuinely impossible to answer before scoping — an MVP with one core flow and a product with billing, teams and integrations are different projects by an order of magnitude. What we can promise is a fixed number after a scoping call, before you commit to anything.
Most businesses that ask for an app need a web app. If your users will visit occasionally, a fast mobile web app costs less, ships sooner and needs no app-store approval. You need a native app when you need push notifications, offline use, camera or device hardware, or store presence itself. We will say which one your case is, even when it is the smaller project.
Often, yes. We start with a paid audit of the code, dependencies and infrastructure, and give you a written verdict: maintainable as-is, needs specific work, or cheaper to rebuild. You get that assessment whichever way it lands.
You do. The repository and the Apple and Google developer accounts are in your name from the start, not transferred later as a favour.
Every build ships with crash reporting so we see failures before your users report them. Post-launch support runs as a monthly retainer you can pause — and bugs in what we built are fixed as bugs, not billed as new work.
Send a line about the project — scope, deadline, budget range if you have one. You will get a straight answer on what it takes, usually within 24 hours.
